  • Sera from rabbits were infected with Vibrio vulnificus containing an antibody against major outer membrane protein (MOMP). MOMP of V. vulnificus ATCC 27562 were isolated and purified by Sarkosyl and TritonX-100 dual treatment. Molecular size of MOMP was identified as 36-kDa on $13\%$ SDS-PAGE. The sequence of the first 26 amino acid residues from the N-terminal end of the protein is AELYNQDGTSLDMGGRAEARLSMKDG, which is a perfect match with OmpU of V. vulnificus CMCP6 and YJ016. MOMP specific IgM and IgG were investigated in groups of mice. The group of mice immunized with MOMP and Alum showed higher levels of IgG2b than the group immunized with only MOMP. Vaccination with MOMP resulted in protective antibodies in the mouse infection experiment.

  • Chinese yam(D. opposita Thunb. cv. Jang-Ma) plants showing necrotic mosaic symptom were collected from their growing fields in Andong, Korea. Electron microscoptic examination of negatively stained preparations showed filamentous particles of 660nm in length. The virues purified partially were used to isolate Viral RNA as template for RT-PCR to amplify the CP gene with ChYNMV specific and oligo dT primers. Amino acids sequeces revealed that the viruses shared 99.3% similarity with ChYNMV(AB044386) which was known as the member of macluravirus. So the viruses from Chinese yam(D. opposita Thunb. cv. Jang-Ma) plants were identified as ChYNMV. Comparing the amino aced sequences of ChYNMV strains with other macluraviruses such as CdMV, NLV and MacMV revealed that N-terminal was the most variable region and conserved regions were present within the genus Macluravirus.

  • 개방형 기화기는 해수를 이용하여 열교환을 수행함으로써 액체상태의 액화천연가스를 천연가스로 기화시키는 역할을 한다 86년부터 가동된 U-tyre 기화기는 천연가스생산과 관련된 중요설비 중 하나로서, 기화기 튜브는 항상 해수내에서 운전되고 있으며 기화기 튜브와 파이프사이의 용접부에서 해수로 인한 부식이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 용접부에서의 국부적인 부식원인을 찾기 위해 이종금속부식의 가능성을 평가해 보았으며 또한 비파괴적인 방법을 이용하여 부식피트의 깊이를 측정하고 유한요소를 통한 안전성 평가에 목적을 두었다. 이종금속부식가능성에 대하여 용접부 각 부위별로 시료를 채취하여 3.5$\%$(wt.) NaCl 용액내에서 모재와 용접부위의 부식전위를 측정하였으며, 비파괴 검사를 통한 잔류두께측정은 tangential radio-graphy 시험이 가장 신뢰성 있는 기법임이 확인되었다. 미세한 부식피트가 발생된 경우에는 표면형상 복제기법을 적용하였다. 비파괴적인 방법을 이용하여 산출된 부식피트의 깊이와 형상을 근거로 2차원 유한요소 해석을 수행함으로써 내압으로 인한 기화기 튜브의 안전성을 평가할 수 있었다.

  • This research investigates experimentally an effect on the properties of the high flowing concrete to be poured in the under-ground slurry wall of Inchon LNG receiving terminal(#213,214-TK) according to variations of concrete materials. Variables for sensitivity test were selected items as followings. 1) Concrete temperature (3cases), 2) Unit water (5cases), 3) Fineness modulus of fine aggregate (5cases), 4) Particle size of lime stone powder (3cases), 5) Replacement ratio of blast-furnace slag (4cases) and 6) Addition ratio of high range water reducing agent (5cases). And fresh conditions of the super flowing concrete should be satisfied with required range including slump flow(65$\pm$5cm), 50cm reaching time of flow(4~10sec), V-lot flowing time(10~ 20sec), U-box height(min. 300mm) and air content(4$\pm$1%). As results for sensitivity test, considered flow-ability, self-compaction and segregation resistance of the high flowing concrete, material variations and conditions of fresh concrete should be satisfied with the range as follwings. 1) Concrete temperature are 10~2$0^{\circ}C$(below 3$0^{\circ}C$), 2) Surface moisture of fine aggregate is within $\pm$ 0.6%, 3) Fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.6$\pm$0.2, 4)Replacement ratio of blast-furnace slag is 45~50% and 5) Addition ratio of high range water reducing agent is within 1%. Based on the specification for quality control, we successfully finished concrete pouring on the under-ground slurry wall having 75,000㎥(#213,214-TK) and accumulated real date in site.

  • A cDNA clone for a transcript preferentially expressed during an early phase of flooding was isolated from Nicotiana tabacum. Nucleotide sequencing of the cDNA clone identified an open reading frame that has high homology to the previously reported glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins. The open reading frame consists of 157 amino acids with an N-terminal RNA-recognition motif and a C-terminal glycine-rich domain, and thus the cDNA clone was designated as Nicotiana tabaccum glycine-rich RNA-binding protein-1 (NtGRP1). Expression of NtGRP1 was upregulated under flooding stress and also increased, but at much lower levels, under conditions of cold, drought, heat, high salt content, and abscisic acid treatment. RNA homopolymer-binding assay showed that NtGRP1 binds to all the RNA homopolymers tested with a higher affinity to poly r(G) and poly r(A) than to poly r(U) and poly r(C). Nucleic acid-binding assays showed that NtGRP1 binds to ssDNA, dsDNA, and mRNA. NtGRP1 suppressed expression of the fire luciferase gene in vitro, and the suppression of luciferase gene expression could be rescued by addition of oligonucleotides. Collectively, the data suggest NtGRP1 as a negative modulator of gene expression by binding to DNA or RNA in bulk that could be advantageous for plants in a stress condition like flooding.

  • The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine smartphone addiction, visual display terminal syndrome (VDTS) related symptoms, and state anxiety among adolescents, and 2) to identify the relationship among these variables. Data were collected via selfadministrated questionnaire survey from May to June, 2013. The survey was carried out with 540 voluntary participants at 13 to 24 years old from middle schools, high schools, and universities in Korea. The presence and severity of smartphone addiction, VDTS symptoms, and state anxiety were measured using Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale, VDTS Questionnaire, and State Anxiety Inventory, respectively. Data were analyzed by Cohen’s Kappa coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The mean score of smartphone addiction for all students was 2.17 ± 0.51. The mean scores of smartphone addiction depending on school grade were 2.12 ± 0.53, 2.03 ± 0.48, and 2.42 ± 0.43 for middle school, high school, and college students, respectively. Subjects who experienced minor level of VDTS symptoms had a score of 0.49 ± 0.49 for VDTS symptoms. The score was increased when the level of addiction was higher. There were significant differences in VDTS subjective symptoms among smartphone addiction groups (p<.001). High-risk group of smartphone addiction had the highest scores in every subdomain of VDTS symptoms. Differences were also found in state anxiety among the three groups with smartphone addiction. The findings of this study showed that approximately one out of three adolescents might be classified into problematic smartphone users. Therefore, it is important to educate problematic smartphone users about smartphone addiction and VDTS symptoms to prevent further addiction and aggravation of anxiety.

  • In an effort to develop an efficient expression and secretion system for heterologous proteins in Aspergilius nidulans, the PCR-amplified coding sequence for alkaline pretense (AlpA) of A. oryzae was cloned into a fungal expression vector downstream of A. nidulans aicA (alcohol dehydrogenase) promoter to yield pRAAlp. Transformation of A. nidulans with pRAAlp gave stable transformants harboring various copy numbers (3 to 10) of integrated alpA gene, from among which 6 representatives were selected. On a medium containing 0.8% ammonium sulfate that represses the expression of the host's own pretense, the alcA prumoter-controlled AlpA expression was strongly induced by threonine but repressed by glucose. The level of AlpA secretion was highest (approximately 666 mU/ml) in transformant ALP6 containing the largest copy number integrated alpA. However, the level of AlpA secretion was not necessarily proportional to the copy numbers of the integrated alpA genes. The N-terminal sequence or the secreted mature AlpA was determined to be Gly-Leu-Thr-Thr-Gln-Lys-Ser and its molecular mass to be approximately 34 kDa, indicating that AlpA is properly processed by the removal of 121 N-terminal amino acids.
